If there is one thing I know about Ruffles, it is that they have ridges. If there is one thing I know about ridges, it is that they have ups and downs. You know who else has ups and downs? Literally everybody. What I am trying to say here is that Ruffles are inherently relatable, and as such, there is an objective Ruffles flavor that fits perfectly with every zodiac sign. So without further ado, here is what Ruffles flavor you are based on your zodiac sign—hope these selections don’t ruffle any feathers (we only Ruffle potatoes in this household).
Aries (March 21-April 19): Cheddar & Sour Cream Ruffles
It doesn’t get more quintessentially Ruffles than Cheddar & Sour Cream. If you were to ask a random person to tell you their favorite Ruffles flavor, they would probably choose this one (probably because this is the only one they know about). Similarly, Aries people are popular, love to be number one, and are also bright orange and cheesy (especially when they get a spray tan while telling dad jokes)—certainly the Cheddar & Sour Cream Ruffles of people.
Taurus (April 20-May 20): Ruffles Queso
What is more comforting than queso? Well, nothing. But if I had to choose something, it would be a hug and a long chat with a Taurus friend. They just know how to diffuse the tension in any room and turn any situation chill, and thus have to be Queso Ruffles.
Gemini (May 21-June 20): Flamin’ Hot Cheddar & Sour Cream Ruffles
What’s this? The two most iconic Ruffles flavors coming together to make one even more iconic, even Rufflier mega flavor bomb? Geminis all have a spicy side, and a cheesy side, and this chip perfectly embodies that Gemini spirit. The light and dark, the red and orange, the chaos and the cheese.
Cancer (June 21-July 22): Jalapeño Ranch Ruffles
Now, your first thought upon seeing this is probably, “WHHHAT?!?! These exist?” and your second thought is probably, “Hmmmmmm, I don’t know that I want peppers jalap-in-my ranch.” Then your third thought is probably, “Let’s try them!” and once you do you will see that you should never judge a Ruffle by its cover, because these bad boys will surprise you with their bold flavor and tang. They may not be bright orange, but they pack a punch. Likewise, Cancers may not seem all that exciting at first glance but talk to them for even five seconds and you will find out just how wrong you were.
Leo (July 23-August 22): Flamin’ Hot Ruffles
I mean, come on. Bright red? Check. Flames on the bag? Check. Famously one of the most popular flavors of chips or literally any snack ever? Triple check. Flamin’ Hot snacks get a lot of attention and we all know who else would love that kind of spotlight.
Virgo (August 23-September 22): Original Ruffles
Original Ruffles are so dang good, but more importantly, they are practical. Why? Because they are a delightfully greasy and salty vehicle for literally any dip. Spinach and artichoke? Slaps. French onion dip? Made for ruffles. Queso? Bean dip? Buffalo chicken dip? Yes, yes, and yes. Our lovely type-A Virgos can rest easy with these chips knowing that whichever dip they choose for the party, Original Ruffles will pair beautifully.
Libra (September 23-October 22): Lime & Jalapeño Ruffles
These chips are the definition of salt, fat, acid, and heat, and there are few things more Libra than that delicate balancing act, except maybe trying to organize a dinner party with multiple friend groups or dipping your pretzels in Nutella.
Scorpio (October 23-November 21): Korean-Style Sweet Chili Ruffles
These were out for a limited time earlier this year, truly killed the game, and then disappeared back into the potato chip flavor development ether forever. Where did they come from? Where did they go? If your name is Cotton Eye Joe, you legally have to tell us where these sweet chili chips went. But I digress. The point is they were tasty, fleeting, and oh-so mysterious, with a delicious yet hard-to-pin-down flavor profile and a super quick run on shelves. The whole thing is VERY Scorpio of them, and we are here for it.
Sagittarius (November 22-December 21): All-Dressed Ruffles
What do you get if you cross an elephant with a rhino?
‘Ell if rhi know!
What spices and flavors go into all-dressed chips?
Same answer.
But Sagittarians are all about seeking knowledge, new adventures, and following their curiosity wherever it takes them, so I bet curious Sagittarians (or Canadian ones, at least) have tried these bad boys and can pinpoint exactly what is going on with them flavor-wise. Is it a combo of all chip flavors? Is it just BBQ and salt and vinegar and ketchup? Only true Sagittarians know (or you can find out here).
Capricorn (December 22-January 19): Sour Cream & Onion Ruffles
What is more classic than a sour cream and onion chip? Very little. Maybe that song by MKTO but honestly can’t think of much else. And seeing as Capricorns’ claim to fame is being classic, mature, sophisticated old souls, Sour Cream & Onion Ruffles seem like the perfect match.
Aquarius (January 20-February 18): Sour Cream ‘N Bacon Ruffles
I had not heard of this chip flavor before today (because I am not Canadian), but it sounds as innovative and revolutionary as it sounds divine. This is not unlike our queens of innovation and out-of-the-box thinking: Aquarians. Aquarians are not like the other girls and, gosh darn it, these Sour Cream ‘N Bacon Ruffles are not like the other chips. Match made in heaven. Also, can I just say, this is the last straw. Canada had truly been holding out on us for too long and now I think I may have to visit just to try these chips (along with the rest of my Canada bucket list: Mooses, Poutine, those dudes with the fun hats).
Pisces (February 19-March 20): Flamin’ Hot BBQ Ruffles
Pisces are not just spicy, they are so much deeper than that, much like these Flamin’ Hot BBQ Ruffles, which are spicy, yes, but they also have a bunch of classic BBQ chip warm spices and complex flavors that make them uniquely spicy AND nostalgic—the most Pisces combo of traits that I ever did see, if I do say so myself.
